Legal Admin – Media Jobs in Chicago, IL at Mandarich Law Group, LLP
Job Title: Legal Secretary – Commercial Litigation
Location: Del Mar, CA
Work Model: Hybrid (3 days in-office, 2 remote)
Base Pay: $87,000 to $100,000 per year
Work Model
This role follows a hybrid model based out of the firm’s Del Mar office , with three in-office days per week and two remote workdays . Candidates must be within commuting distance to be considered.
What This Firm Does
This is a well-established litigation practice focused on high-stakes commercial and construction-related disputes. The team handles complex matters across state and federal courts, including contract claims, lien enforcement, and multi-party disputes. The environment values collaboration, attention to detail, and professional growth — with long-term staff retention and strong internal mentorship.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a dynamic, fast-paced legal secretary role for someone with deep litigation experience. You’ll support a high-performing team of litigators and play a central role in case progression, client communication, and document management. The firm runs on organization, responsiveness, and precision, and they’re looking for someone who thrives in that kind of structure.
What You’ll Do
Prepare, proof, and format legal documents including pleadings, correspondence, memoranda, reports, and court forms.
Perform e-filing in multiple state and federal jurisdictions (CA, NV, AZ), including Riverside and Northern CA courts.
Maintain organized electronic and physical files, manage document retrieval, and track case deadlines.
Coordinate client communications, screen calls, and schedule meetings.
Prepare engagement letters and assist with case administration under attorney/paralegal guidance.
Enter attorney time, process billing, and manage expense reports.
Arrange service, distribution, and county recording of legal documents including mechanics’ liens and government code claims.
What You Need
At least 7 years of experience in a high-volume civil litigation setting.
Strong experience with e-filing systems like One Legal, CM/ECF, Odyssey, and TruFiling.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and legal case management tools.
Familiarity with multi-jurisdiction litigation, particularly in CA.
Experience with construction litigation is a plus, but commercial litigation experience is required.
Excellent grammar, formatting, organization, and time management skills.
A team-oriented mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Compensation and Benefits
Base Salary: $87,000 to $100,000/year (commensurate with experience)
Annual bonus opportunities based on performance
Health, dental, and vision insurance (HMO and PPO options)
401(k) with profit sharing
Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts
Generous PTO and holiday policy
Employee wellness programs and EAP access
Hybrid work flexibility and strong internal support culture
